Fiona Fosters intro on the ITV News last night was very much a mismatch of announcers voices.

James Mates did the ITV Lunchtime News

and Bill Neely is supposed to be presenting on ITV1 again a day next week according to Radio Times

So how is Bill Neely fairing on the ITV Lunchtime News compared to Nick Owen?
Is it back to a normal bulletin without any funny bits?

According to the RT Katie Derham is back next week

I wondering the other night (on another note) do you ever get to go on the ITV News set or talk to any of the presenters, Reportage or Newsroom?

Hey Nicky, I dont work at ITN. My best friend works there and keeps me abreast of any news, although I do know Fiona Foster.

Incidentally, there is no confirmed date for the new look. Resources were drained by the war and so it's been delayed. I will post something here as soon as I know. My friend knows what a news freak I am and so will let me know the minute he knows. LOL

I can't seem to access page 61 of this thread, although I can reply, so I can't read what anyone's posted on here

Don't worry there isn't anything on the last page. I don't know what is causing this problem

The number of replies was out, should be okay now.

So anyone catch the 11am bulletin?! Poor old CSO failed so for the whole duration we had James Mates in front of the green screen itself. The titles stayed on for a while at the start - presumably deciding whether to go ahead with it!

Cheers, Asa
